What OGTEC does

OGTEC Australia PTY LTD is a privately held Australian designer, manufacturer, and integrator of waste and recycling capital equipment, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Wetherill Park NSW with manufacturing operations in Ballarat, Alfredton, and Delacombe VIC. The company designs, manufactures, installs, and services custom processing lines and turnkey plants for municipal solid waste (MSW), processed engineered fuel (PEF), construction & demolition / commercial & industrial (C&D/C&I) streams, commingled recycling, tyre recycling, secondary plastics, and food and organics (FOGO). Its core technology stack spans primary and secondary industrial shredders, hammermills and bag openers, vibrating and trommel screens, ballistic separators, windshifters, magnetic and eddy current separators, NIR optical sorters, balers and wrappers, conveyors, compactors, transfer trailers, and moving floor systems, with AI-driven process optimization and robotic material picking integrated at the equipment level.

OGTEC operates as a multi-vendor system integrator rather than a single-brand OEM, sourcing best-of-breed components from technology partners including Lindner Recyclingtech, Spaleck, Binder+Co, and Cross Wrap, and assembling them into turnkey plants at its Australian facilities. Its go-to-market is exclusively enterprise field sales, with project-based engagements covering process development, plant design, manufacturing, installation, and ongoing service support for waste-management incumbents such as Visy, Cleanaway, ResourceCo, Suez, Veolia, and Tyrecycle across Australia and New Zealand.

The revenue model combines one-time capital equipment sales (turnkey plants and retrofits, e.g., the $10M Tyrecycle Erskine Park NSW facility and the 250,000 TPA Cleanaway/ResourceCo PEF plant at Wetherill Park), professional services (project management, plant design, process development, installation), and recurring managed services (maintenance, spare parts, and service contracts on installed equipment). Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed; customer concentration is high given the small number of large enterprise clients, and revenue cadence is tied to customer capex cycles, partially smoothed by the recurring aftermarket service stream.
